Suggest Treatment For Numbness In Left Leg
My grandson will be 3 in July and has numbness in his left leg and foot. it seems to happen more after sitting and he falls alot. Can you tell me what this could be. He was taken to his Dr and the parents were told to wait a week and come back if not better, for x-rays. This has been happening for more than 2 weeks.

numbness after sitting usually occur due to nerve compression or compromise in blood flow. correct posture of sitting and avoing to sit still may improve this. calcium supplements will help in early recovery. so no need to worry.
